If we don’t have a total nationwide lockdown now healthcare systems will collapse in the entire country. Why the fuck doesn’t trump get this.

It all seemed very academic in Holland too but tomorrow we cross the 10,000 while being 1/4 the size of Italy.
The thing that confuses me about Europe is a lack of comprehension of whether you guys have a lot of the suburbia + city housing that North America has or whether all your residential areas are packed super tightly together like pictures dunno, it seems like Europe is having a disproportionate rate of spread due to close quarters everywhere making "true" isolation more difficult
the US (maybe not places like NYC) 'should' almost have an easier time inhibiting spread in my eyes because there is so much more sprawl and space-per-person to mid-sized cities

We might have the scenario that 60% of the population gets it.
For the US thats like 200 million people.
Those 200 million people are going to end up inbetween South Korea (2.7 megadeath) and Italy (20 megadeath)
Its likely -not- going to be South Korea because their medical system wasnt as overwhelmed with total patients in the thousands as the US will be with total patients in the millions.
This is the scale if its up to the virus.
If its up to us, we can seek to depress that number as much as possible until the Summer 2021 vaccine comes or, Deus Ex Machina, some old drug somewhere snuffs it out that we can mass produce.
But if its up to the virus the US will get 200-300 million cases. Its that kinda virus.
All we can shave off of that is mercy.

Americans travel more by land and air - your fuel is subsidized to stimulate this exact thing as more travel = more economomic activity = more profit.
It also means, more spread.
Americans are clustered in towns and cities too.

bingo
new york is 302 square miles, pop 8.4 million
houston is 637 square miles, pop 2.3 million
italy is 116k square miles, pop 60.5million
USA is 9.8 million square miles, pop 330million
also PUBLIC. TRANSPORTATION.
I expect to see a lot of persistent regional variation in infection rates through the USA

The counter point to that is rural areas have almost zero intensive care capabilities

All I can tell you is that remdesivir was in such high demand despite not having finished clinical trials that Gilead had to withdraw status for Orphan Drug status to avoid having a mob with pitchforks show up at the board meeting, and that my former classmate whose parents are doctors told him they are using remdesivir in their hospital system with no mortality thus far.
It will be really nice when the clinical trial results are published but my guess is that it will turn out to be quite effective.
It tricks the viral ssRNA into binding to it instead of the cellular RNA polymerase/mRNA which should prevent it from replicating altogether

There should be results by now if it was clearly effective. You don’t continue clinical trials if a drug is obviously effective. It is unethical to have a control group at that point.

It looks like it was designed on LSD, and this to be Ebola specific.
I *HOPE* that Chloroquine is more effective because the Gilead drug is very fancy to synthesize in quantity, and (OH)Chloroquine almost as plain as a food additive.
Chloroquines are drugs an oldfasioned 5 man chemical company could synthesize in quantity.
About that bygone era, that still exists in the Chinese RC trade:
Excuse me Sir, would you like to buy a kilo of isopropyl bromide?

yeah, and made a point of indicating that places like NYC are a lot more stacked up
but guess my point is more a question of do small-town areas actually all look like this:

because Winnipeg is a city with an International airport and trade, the capital city and most densely populated of my province but most housing looks like this:



with the yards/space between housing becoming larger the further from the city center into suburbia you go
this is not to say that the city isn't building up tall condo buildings and appartments downtown but most of the housing in the city isn't actually like that
tho this does also result in a lot more of the driving culture you reference if you work downtown it is almost impossible to find reasonable housing downtown; and the public transit system sucks so people commute by car typically without carpool as it is not average to have workers in downtown offices live in the same areas of the city

I think this is fascinating.
Big brother contestants learning about covid-19 for the first time and being updated.
This is bullshit reality TV but it's still interesting to see people isolated from the world learn about how crazy things can get so quickly.

I live in a Dutch street from before the War (WW2). My whole side of the street is one building with one roof, compartimentalized into a series of homes. A beautiful street, might I say! Several colors bricks used, portico's, bay windows, we used to have stained glass sun catchers..
Thats a style you see all over Holland, neighborhoods built as one instead of separate houses.
Rijtjeshuizen. "row houses".
All that matters is the 2 meters/7ft social distancing though.

LogicaL Chaos said: Will the US be like 2x Italy? Or maybe even 10x Italy? 
I estimate we'll get things under control with around 50,000 deaths. We're responding much slower and softer than Italy has so we can't expect to see a big drop off in our numbers. Some hospitals in NYC are already beyond capacity (chose who dies scenarios) and we're on the foothills of this great mountain.
That being said, I really don't see a worst-case scenario playing out. For as dumb as Trump talks, he's actually doing the right things behind closed doors (went on Fox and insisted hospitals didn't need more breathing machines. Hours later he ordered GM to begin producing ventilators). He acts much more dumb than he is.

That still sounds to me as more difficult to isolate in am guessing in normal circumstances you and your neighbours typically step out right onto the street possibly carrying a bike out your front door?
my paranoia, and it could be solely that, convinces me that people walking in and out of houses near each other potentially leave enough of a lingering of the disease to spread it
whereas in neighbourhoods here people can frequently walk a direct path between their door to their car without crossing in front of a neighbours doorway or anything
in NYC it also makes more sense for lots of spread because people are walking up and down shared enclosed hallways, opening shared doors to appartment buildings, taking shared stairways with shared handrails
so am kind of imagining much of European residential areas as sort of a middle ground between the locked up surfaces of NYC and the constant wide berth that the housing and travel style results in in Winnipegish suburbia
as another "for instance" have someone drive me to the grocery store to pick up groceries go from there to the car to back home so, aside from whoever drives me, the only real "at risk" period in my journey is while in the store instead of having to risk carrying my bags along the subway and bus lines like when living in Montréal or walking past all my neighbours front porches on the way to the grocery and back when having one in my neighbourhood
